469 Minnieford Avenue

Description

Welcome to 469 Minnieford Avenue, a private retreat tucked away on one of City Island’s most desirable streets. Set back from the road on a beautifully maintained double lot, this charming home offers a rare combination of privacy, character, and exceptional outdoor space - and generous parking, too between the long driveway and detached 1 car garage. Step inside to a warm and inviting entry anchored by a cozy gas fireplace, then continue into the living room, where exposed beam ceilings add timeless charm and a sense of history. Designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, the spacious dining area flows seamlessly into a true chef’s kitchen with generous workspace—perfect for households with more than one cook and equally suited for intimate dinners or lively celebrations. A thoughtfully placed powder room and a discreet first-floor laundry area add everyday convenience and complete the space. A charming nook provides the perfect spot for a home office, reading corner, or creative space. Meanwhile the second floor offers three generously sized bedrooms, including a spacious primary with a walk-in closet. A hall bath with a double vanity, abundant storage throughout, and easy access to the attic add to the home's practicality. The basement features excellent ceiling height and versatile bonus space ready to accommodate your needs, whether as a recreation room, gym, workshop, or additional storage. Outside, you'll discover one of City Island's true rarities. The expansive property features a detached garage, a long private driveway, and generous yard space for relaxing, gardening, or entertaining. As an added bonus, the home includes keyed access to a private beach just a walk away—offering a waterfront lifestyle few properties can match. All this and the iconic seafood restaurants that make City Island so sought after! Beautifully cared for and filled with warmth, character, and thoughtful updates, 469 Minnieford Avenue is a truly special place to call home. Come experience all it has to offer. City Island is a charmer all on it's own, too. It's a 1.5-mile-long and 0.5-mile-wide nautical community in the northeastern Bronx, nestled between Eastchester Bay and the Long Island Sound. This one won't disappoint!
